The Unpaid Therapist!

Chapter 32;

Broke up 

Dumiretso na kami ni Seifer sa kusina tulad ng sinabi niya binuhat niya ako, habang hawak hawak ko naman ang saklay ko. Na-abutan namin si Papa Tiago he was sdrinking his coffee when we arrived at the kitchen.

I think it's a bit awkward, pero hindi ko na rin yun pinansin ng makita ko ang mga maleta niya na naka handa. "Papa Tiago? Your leaving?" I asked, akala ko mag sta-stay pa siya dito? And besides bakit siya aalis? 

"Yes, I'm going back to Italy." He said like it was nothing, I stared at him for a moment... Thinking that he would take back what he said, but I was wrong. He stared at me too, oh right! Nung sinabi niya umuwi na si Ilya sa Italy I didn't mean na babalik rin siya dun, bakit nga ba hindi ko na isip yun?

This isn't their home anymore, Italy is. Hindi ko inaasahan ang sinabi niya, his going back to Italy? After all that happened to us? I laugh sarcastically, "Why? Hindi pa nga ako magaling sementado pa ang isang binti ko! Is this about Ilya? Please, pauwiin niyo na lang siya dito, you don't have to go back there." I desperately said. 

Inilapag ako ni Seifer sa upuan malapit kay Papa Tigao, "I think I shuld leave you two." He said as a sign of respect.

"No, hijo you can stay here." Seifer looked at me first before nodding.

"Iris, listen. I need to go back in Italy, please this time makinig ka. I know you want me to stay but its not as easy as that, I have to go back there."

"Why do you even have to go back there? Can't you just ask Ilya to come back here. Okay lang sa akin, I'll be good I promise... Please? Just please stay... Can you?"

"Iris..."

"I can't to do that, mahihirapan akong pabalikin siya dito. And besides you know, its better for her to stay there. You know? She studying there, her life is there."

"Why? I don't understand? Why she can't be here? Bakit kaylangan iwan niyo ako ulit?!" Tapos naman na ang issue kay Harkin at sa ama niya diba? Then what the heck is the problem! Why they can't stay for me?!

"Why Papa may hindi pa ba kayo sinasabi sa akin? May hindi pa ba ako nalalaman?" I asked him, "Kaya ba aalis kayo ulit? Para iwan ako ulit?"

"Hija, this is for the sake of your sister Ilya. And I told you, I need to help Zion. Konting tiis pa, okay?"

"Bakit ako ang mag a-adjust sa kriminal na yun? Hindi pa ba sapat ang twelve years? Oh gosh I can't believe it, iiwan niyo ako para sakanya. Iiwan niyo ako ulit para sakanya, what the hell is wrong with me? Bakit lagi niyo akong iniiwan. And he killed my parents, what do you expect me to do? Care for him? Forgive him? No!"

"Iris, please calm down. Makinig ka muna." Saway sa akin ni Seifer, sinubukan rin akong lapitan ni Papa Tiago. I slightly moved my chair away from him.

"Ah, do I have to explain everything to you hija? You are just stubborn, you're just like your father."
